Join award-winning playwright Julia Grogan for a 2-hour in-person political playwriting workshop on Thu 3 Apr.
This workshop offers an opportunity to get together and delve into the themes of Playfight, while exploring new responsive writing techniques and deep diving into character. Alongside that, there’ll be plenty of space for participants to ask questions about the creative industry and getting started in it.
Julia is an awardwinning playwright and screenwriter from the Midlands. Her debut play, Playfight, won the ETPEP Award 2020, and was shortlisted for the Papatango Award, the Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award and the Women’s Prize for Playwriting.

She also co-wrote and starred in Belly Up, a dark historical-comedy. Premiering at VAULT Festival 2020, it went onto a sell-out, five-star run at The Turbine Theatre in 2021, and is now in development with the RSC.
